The Cruel Prince: A Dark, Addictive Tale of Power, Deceit, and Dangerous Faeries
When it comes to faerie tales, Holly Black doesn’t do sweet and whimsical—she dives headfirst into the dark, twisted corners of faerie lore. The Cruel Prince, the first book in The Folk of the Air series, is a masterclass in crafting morally gray characters, ruthless political intrigue, and a world so vivid it feels like it could swallow you whole. If you’re craving a story filled with betrayal, ambition, and enemies-to-lovers tension, this is the book you’ve been waiting for.
